It is a usual Tuesday morning when I woke up. I get myself and all my things ready for college. I left house at 10:03am (expecting to reach college before 11:00am.) and head out towards the bus stop which is actually nearer in displacement than its distance (fuh! seriously, it is a bug u-turn.).
So I was waiting for the bus (my house is at the Custom Quarters Complex, at the entrance of Sepanggar Road from Menggatal or Telipok. Hence I have to take a bus to go out from my current location to the other bus stop where the Sepanggar buses stops). There were probably 3 full mini buses that has passed me by. The bus stop I'm headed to is just 1.5km away. Exactly around 10:28am, there was a bus that was half empty (yay!). At last, after a 25 minutes of wait! If I walked from home, I could reach the bus stop in 15 minutes!
Ok, first problem solved. Now waiting for the bus heading to the city, Kota Kinabalu. Instead of stopping by the bustop I was headed, I headed further up to stop at the next bustop hoping to get on the bus earlier than those at the bus stop I intended to stop at first. Well, my plan worked! But the bus only came at 10:42am! At least I get to sit down. That was 20 minutes for waiting the next bus to the city.
This wasn't the case last year, when the bus system changed. After the changes occured, less busses were drawn towards Sepanggar every month. It was 10:00am, yet there were still people congestion at bus stops.
I reached the city at 11:10am. So I was late for class. I decided to head for electronic scavenging.
